Philadelphia 76ers center Boban Marjanovic will start on Thursday versus the Miami Heat in place of Joel Embiid (knee).

What It Means:

Marjanovic logged fewer than 15 minutes in each of his first four games with the 76ers, but he will be in line for an expanded workload over at least the next two games. Ben Simmons, J.J. Redick, Jimmy Butler, and Tobias Harris will join Marjanovic in the first unit.

numberFire's models expect Boban to play 17.4 minutes on Thursday and score 24.2 FanDuel points, at a cost of $3,800.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Nikola Mirotic (right calf strain) is available to make his team debut on Thursday versus the Boston Celtics.

What It Means:

Bucks head coach Mike Budenholzer said Mirotic's minutes will be managed as he is eased into the rotation. Mirotic hasn't played since January 23. He'll likely take minutes away from Ersan Ilyasova right out the gates.

numberFire’s models expect Mirotic to play 19.7 minutes and score 21.3 FanDuel points on Thursday, at a cost of $5,500.
